WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Pablo, apóstol de Cristo Jesús porque Dios así lo quiso, de acuerdo con la promesa de vida que tenemos en Cristo Jesús,
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 a Timoteo, mi amado hijo: Que Dios el Padre y Jesucristo nuestro Señor derramen en ti su gracia, su misericordia y su paz.
2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 ¡Siempre doy gracias a Dios por ti, Timoteo! De día y de noche elevo oraciones por ti al Dios de mis antepasados. A él le sirvo con la conciencia limpia.
3 I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4 Cuando recuerdo tus lágrimas, anhelo tener la alegría de volver a verte.
4 longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 ¿Cómo he de olvidar la sinceridad de tu fe, que es como la que animó a tu madre Eunice y a tu abuela Loida? Estoy seguro de que es así.
5 having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 Por eso te aconsejo que avives la llama del don que Dios te dio cuando puse las manos sobre ti.
6 For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 El Espíritu que es don de Dios, no quiere que temamos a la gente, sino que tengamos fortaleza, amor y dominio propio.
7 For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
8 Así que no te avergüences de hablar de nuestro Señor, ni de mí, que estoy preso por la causa de Cristo. Al contrario, debes ser capaz de sufrir por el evangelio, pues Dios te dará fuerzas.
8 Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,
9 Dios nos salvó y nos llamó a una vida santa, no porque lo mereciéramos sino por su amor y porque así lo planeó. Antes que el mundo comenzara, su plan era mostrarnos su bondad a través de Cristo Jesús.
9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
10 Esto se hizo patente con la venida de nuestro Salvador Jesucristo, quien quebrantó el poder de la muerte y nos mostró la vida incorruptible por medio del evangelio.
10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
11 Dios me nombró apóstol suyo, con la tarea de predicar y enseñar ese mensaje.
11 For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 Por ese motivo padezco estos sufrimientos. Mas no me avergüenzo, porque sé en quién he creído, y estoy seguro de que puede guardar lo que le he encomendado hasta el día de su retorno.
12 For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 Ten por norma las sanas verdades que te enseñé, especialmente las concernientes al amor y a la fe en Cristo.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Guarda bien la preciosa enseñanza que Dios te dio, mediante el Espíritu Santo que mora en nosotros.
14 That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Como sabrás, los de la provincia de Asia me han abandonado, aun Figelo y Hermógenes.
15 This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Que el Señor sea misericordioso con Onesíforo y toda su familia, porque muchas veces me confortó y nunca se avergonzó de que yo estuviera preso.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 Al contrario, cuando estuvo en Roma me buscó por todas partes y por fin me halló.
17 but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me
18 Que el Señor le conceda hallar misericordia delante de Dios en aquel día. Tú sabes mejor que yo lo mucho que me ayudó en Éfeso.
18 (the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    What is the reason of his writing this second Epistle to Timothy? He had said, "I hope to come unto thee shortly" (1 Tim. iii.
